6 Advantages of steel Deck

Steel decks are widely used in industrial and civil buildings, so what are the advantages of steel decks?

High Structure Performance
The ribs of the steel deck are embedded completely in the concrete which improves the bond-slip resistance coefficient between deck and concrete. Data derived from tests which are carried.
out at Xi’an University of Architecture & Technology is used in practice.

Construction Convenience
Steel decks serve as forms during construction stage. End closures are saved because of the flat profile. Elimination of form installation and removal, end closure installation accelerates construction.

Excellent Fireproof Capability
Closed ribs are protected by concrete effectively from fire. Test conducted at National Center for Quality Supervision & Test of Building Engineering indicates that fire resistance capacity of the composite slab is not less than 2.0 hour.

Low Cost
Steel decks substitute for part of reinforcements and minimize the thickness of the composite slabs. Less construction procedures and saving of fireproof paint make slabs more economical.


Convenient suspension system
The steel deck is provided with a card slot at the bottom of the board, and a detachable lifting point can be set at any position on the bottom of the board to avoid pre-embedding or post-drilling and welding operations. The suspension of the bridge frame and the flat roof of the building provides great convenience and flexibility. At the same time, the cost is more economical than expansion bolts, and it does not damage the pipelines in the floor like using expansion bolts.


Aesthetics
Steel decks look great with attractive designs, especially roof decks with premium coatings. Steel decks are easy to clean, durable and beautiful, and it's easy to keep them looking good.
